How to call qDebug without the appended spaces and

Question

I'm using the the C++/Qt print function qDebug, but sometimes I would like to control how ", space and newline is appended and not use the default qDebug.

Let's take a simple example:

QString var1("some string");
int var2 = 1;
qDebug() << var1 << "=" << var2;

This will print

"some string" = 1 

But Let's say that I don't like the appended " and space and would like the print to look like

some string=1 

How to I then call qDebug?

---

Note: There is a function in qDebug called nospace, but it will remove the spaces. But the " is still there.

If I use this:

qDebug().nospace() << var1 << "=" << var2;

I get:

"some string"=1

But please note that I have still not found a way to get rid of the ending newline.

/Thanks

The file $(QTDIR)/src/corelib/io/qdebug.h contains almost all definitions for the debug output methods. One of them is:

inline QDebug &operator<<(const QString & t) { stream->ts << '\"' << t << '\"'; return maybeSpace(); }

So there is no "official" way to suppress the quotes, but you can of course change qdebug.h or use your own copy or a modified and renamed copy of the QDebug class.
